NBC Sunday Night Football

There's no denying that Sunday Night Football still delivers a high-quality broadcast week after week. It's one of the most polished productions in sports, with a sleek presentation, elite commentary, and some of the NFL's biggest games in prime time. But lately, it's started to feel like a little too much extra fluff around what should just be top-tier football.

Football Night in America: A Standout Pre-Game Show

Let's give credit where it's due - Football Night in America is an absolute gem. The pacing, the analysis, the stories... it sets the tone perfectly. Maria Taylor, Tony Dungy, Chris Simms, Mike Florio, Jason Garrett, and Devin McCourty have gelled into a smart and likable team. They balance football IQ with personality and keep things focused on the game. This segment remains a consistent highlight.

Cris Collinsworth & Mike Tirico: A Solid Duo

Cris and Mike have developed a strong rapport. Tirico is smooth, professional, and keeps things grounded, while Collinsworth brings in the player perspective and quirky insights. Sometimes Cris gets a bit too excited about certain players (you know the moments), but overall, this pair handles the broadcast with veteran poise.

But Please, Cool It with the Taylor Swift Lovefest

We get it - there's crossover appeal when celebrities show up. But the constant cutaways, commentary, and borderline obsession when Taylor Swift is in the building has started to wear thin. It's a football broadcast first, not a celebrity highlight reel. A nod? Sure. A full segment every week? Come on.

In Summary

Sunday Night Football is still one of the best weekly showcases in the NFL, and "Football Night in America" continues to carry its weight in gold. But the extra noise and distractions can sometimes take away from the football itself.

8 out of 10 - strong, reliable, but it could be even better if it focused more on the gridiron than the gossip.

Cris Collinsworth is so irritating with his voice and his comments about the Bengals. He is no expert and half of what he says no one cares to listen to. I know there are other announcers out there that would be much better than he is. I've been reading a lot of comments about him and lots and lots of people are sick of him. I don't know what you do to get him off of this Sunday night football. I love watching football, and I love the Cincinnati Bengals, but I almost don't want to watch, and actually on many occasions have turned off the volume because I can't stand hearing his irritating voice. Hopefully someone is paying attention to the comments that we see here and he needs to go.

I love NFL Football, but it is hard to enjoy the broadcasts, listening to the endless butt-munch Chris Collinsworth. Every penalty, every suspension, every thing Roger Goodell does has to be praised by Collinsworth. It sounds like a religious show sometimes when Collinsworth goes on a roll of pointing out how everything that the NFL does is good. He even praises the most bogus pass-interference calls by the referees.

I pray every year that Collinsworth will retire or get replaced. It would be nice to hear somebody that sounded neutral. Not to mention that when the New England Patriots are playing, it is 99% praising Tom Brady, and 1% discussing the other team. Collinsworth is the worst brown-noser that has ever been a broadcaster on any major sports program. Please retire Chris.

Nothing better than wasting valuable time watching something like Sunday night football of a few teams going at it by tackling each other to win games so us dedicated fans can feel like we achieved something.

Great Sunday memories and moments.

nbc Sunday Football. Its where star are created and careers end. Where fans cry and rejoice.

We are forced to hear Cris Collinsworth yet another year. Every game he's going to mention T. Brady who's not even playing or Aaron Rodgers no matter what teams are playing. Both cheating QB's in my opinion who were coached by cheating coaches, in my opinion. It's very annoying how he coaches every play and rants on and on as if he could have ran the play better. But I do believe Tony Romo is 10X worse than Collinsworth when it comes to commentating on football games. The 3rd worse in my opinion is Troy Aikman. These guys sideline coach as if they were the greatest players when they played. I find myself switching the channel after I've had my fill of the annoying commentators and watch Gameday highlights on another channel. As stated a few times, this is just my opinion and at times I exercise my option to change the channel.
